Chapter 14 (2/2)

“Aren't you afraid that I'll tell?” Leah looked at him

“I do not know” Zero stared back at her The girl in front of hi as he looked at her: “I believe you”

Leah lowered her head and whispered: ”Then… it's a secret between us!”

“Alright”

“Pinky swear?” Leah made a childish act

Zero hesitated but eventually raised his hand to hook his finger with Leah's Leah laughed in satisfaction before speaking in a worried tone: “But its going to be a probleet the proper forlomerate to direct the new ability that will form from the evolutionary point If it transforms naturally on't knohat kind of ability would coers would pop up too”

The ability users were ie Even ordinary people with variations would be object of attraction Directing the new abilities would be stable and less dangerous if the fore companies were used Only a madman would take the risk and choose the new ability to evolve and form naturally

Moreover if the transformation of the ability wasn't directed then a very powerful ability from combat domain could form However a useless auxiliary ability could be formed too That's why people tried to avoid natural transformation of the evolutionary points

Leah looked at Zero who stubbornly shook his head

Zero illing to let the ability to degenerate instead of facing the risk of exposure He believed that as long as he had the chance to upgrade his strength then he would find a way to get the right stuff frolomerates However he didn't want to take this risk at this point

Leah no longer tried to convince Zero as she saw that latter was set about his decision TheyZero's secret

Zero began to help Leah with the labor in the lab They orking in the lab when the radio of the base made an announcement

Old Jack's voice echoed from the speakers: “There is an important announcement! Everyone come to the work area!”

The broadcast repeated for three times Even Leah was unaware of announcement that Old Jack wanted to say Both of them left the laboratory towards the work area They heard hints about the issues as they walked to the work area It seemed that the announcement was related to a man and a woman

Zero thought of Alice without a reason

Old Hack was standing in front of the door of the work area There was an open space in front of hi to keep and maintain the order He saw one person kneel in front of Old Jack

The man with the wretched face looked like 30 years old Zero recognized the man from the first look It was Hans who had woken him up from the hibernation His face ollen while Hans seamed to be beaten badly There were blood by his mouth and bruises all over his body

A tall wo by Hans's side

Zero saw George and the other recognized hie

“What’s going on?” Zero asked

George wryly sht”

Alice's na queue of men who lined up to be with hear But she wasn't a cheap woman ould sell her body Leah knew about Alice too She looked at Zero with a hint of jealousy in her eyes

Zero was unaware of Leah He just nodded

“But you didn't let her in!?” George asked

Zero nodded again

Leah felt a bit relaxed after Zero's nod

George looked at him: “But you have hurt her”

Zero's eyebroere raised: “Why do you say that?”

George looked at Hans as kneeling next to Old Jack: “That cheap dog Hans… ”

Zero understood what had happened He clenched his fists as he indifferently looked Hans There was anger in his eyes

“Alice being tarnished by hi isn't clean He is a freaking hybrid as infected with the virus …” George sighed

Zero didn't knohat Georgebehind his words She subconsciously uttered an 'uh' cry She knehat kind of fate Alice had to face A o she was jealous of the woman but know she felt deep sympathy for Alice
